A Sacramento registered nurse spends every workday on the street providing free medical services for the homeless.

Amanda Buccinna R.N. is part of the Street Nurse Program — a collaboration with Sutter Heath and WellSpace Health.

"Small issues easily turn serious, if you live on the streets. So that's right where I go providing treatment, helping them navigate the health system -- and being someone they can count on,” Buccinna said.

The program started March 2016, according to Sutter Health. In that time, Buccinna has helped more than 200 people living on Sacramento streets access on-site care, medical advice, disease management education and wound care.

“Working with this population, you have to be willing to meet people where they are,” Buccinna explained. “The system is really difficult to navigate. We do not have a system that is easy for people to utilize.”

Buccinna has several regular patients, while others are sporadic and some even find her organically on the street.

“It’s touching to me because they are the most vulnerable. They don’t have to let me into their world at all -- and they do,” she said. “It’s kind of like a window into their world. And if they trust me enough to help them, it’s kind of a big deal.”

The goal is to provide a whole health stability model for the most vulnerable among us, according to Sutter Health.

“Sometimes, honestly, they just want someone to listen to them. That there is somebody that is consistent, that they trust, and that they know is there,” Buccinna said. “If they know someone is invested in them, it makes it slightly more likely they will be invested in themselves.”
